FUNNYMAN Jim Carrey debuted his grandson over the weekend.

The Hollywood actor, 47, became a first time grandpa when his daughter Jane, 22, gave birth to a 7lbs 11oz baby boy on Friday in Los Angeles.

Jane — who fronts rock group The Jane Carrey Band — and her husband, Blood Money singer Alex ‘Nitro’ Santana, have named their new arrival Jackson Riley Santana.

Jim revealed his daughter was about to give birth on Twitter last week.

“Something beautiful is right around the corner,” he wrote Thursday.

And on Friday he posted, “Right around the corner!”

When Jane announced her happy news last July, Jim — who split from Jane’s mother, his first wife Melissa Womer, in 1995 — predicted his daughter would be a fantastic parent.

“Jane is going to be a great mom,” he said at the time.

The Yes Man actor’s long-term girlfriend Jenny McCarthy recently admitted she couldn’t wait to become a grandmother to Jane’s baby.

“I think I’m going to be the awesome grandma, the world’s best is what I say,” said Jenny, who has a seven-year-old son Evan from a previous relationship.
